Identity

"I am not one and simple,but complex and many." Virginia Woolf

unsteady
tearful
abrasive
volatile
surreal
hands on
hands dirty
a mixed brew
steeped
in high culture
a politically incorrect
boho chick
inhabitor of the outback
and harbourside concurrently
a swimmer
swimming in theology and
the gentle arts
a vermeer gone wrong

  3. The Vermeer is fabulous. At first I thought the end line was too negative, but then it shows the sense of humor and the intellect that ties the many into one!
